Why Captain Epps Had Number Of
People Reported.

The following paper explains why num-
Der Of people in the Third district were Ie-
ported for doing business on Sunday:
RICHMOND, May 30, 1887.
To the Hon. Captain EppS, Third District:
We, the undersigned, erocers and pro-
vision dealers doing business In your dis
trict, feeling that we are imposed upon by
some OF our felow.grocers and provision

OF business on Sunday, and being Informed
bv our honorable Police Judge that 1t il n
violation OF law and that you are the officer
TO see Justice done us, do most respectfully
ask you that all places OF business in this
district be closed on Sunday, that we may
be protected and morality encouraged.

eral offices in the gift of the people!
Future allegiance to party this exhort-
er suggests may depend upon the re-
suit Of the election, of the Young Re-
publicans.', 'sDefest will cause many
to desert to the other sidel'' This is a
mighty low standard of patriotism, &C
cording to this correspondent, which
animates the Young Republicans. On
ly too mean motives are assigned them E.
The satisfaction of beating the OF her
fellow, or hope of getting something.
The same low plane occupied by the
base ball player is pointed out as the
one on which the "Young Republi-
cans" stand, by their sponsor. 1t Is
this grovelling, slavish standard of pc.
litical morals which has brought all
the political unrest under which the
nation is seething like rising and
angry tide.
We hope the young men have been
DETAINED and misnsed by their spon-
sers and historians and that their aims
and patriotism are of q much higher
standard than those assigned them.
Political clubs maintained for the
purpose of crystilizing party bigoty at
the expense of every sentiment of in
dependence, free thought and action
in public affairs, is not only useless
but one of the most harmful organiza-
tons that could be found.
If the young men wish to become a
power in the land, let them convert
their club into school of political
instruction. There are at present some
of the most momentous questions in
political economy pressing for hear
ing and will not be denied or put aside,
that ever confronted civilization, and
the young men of to-day will have to
meet them before their heads are very
white. If they aspire to be great and
useful as public men, they have no
time to lose. Books can be obtained
which treat on all these great questions
and lecturers .who would be glad to
teach if called upon. They have Meth
er read the one or heard the other. The
speakers for political parties may claim
in a vague kind ofway that their parties
are animal d bygreat living issues, but
neither party has hold of single liv
ing issue. Every thing they claim to
rest upon has been discussed and dis
cussed till it has become thrice told
tale. Every issue has beeG adju dicat-
ed by argument, by experiment or by
the sword.

Justice consists in doing no injury to

knowledge may give weight, but &C.
complishments only give lustre; and
many people gee rather than weigh.
Love is the beginning, the middle, and

Men love handsome women from in

reason.
No married man belongs to himself,
he belongs to his wife.
Our striving against nature is like
holding weathercock with ones

off, il veers again to the wind.
Poverty comes sooner than riches, and

Tho Mexican Scorpions.

Mexicans are complaining about the in.

part of Mexico. They are go numerous
that nearly every house is overrun with
them. They are within the cracks of the
walls, and dart everywhere with tncon
cnivable rapidity, Their tails, which hold
the sting, are held ready to fly up with
dangerous eff ct upon the slightest provo
cation. The average scorpion is mahog-
any.hued, and about two inches long,
but Il ey have been found five inches 10
length. The small, yellowish variety are
considered more dangerous, and their bite
Is most appreh nded at midday. In Dur

the government offers a reward per head,

them. Their sting Is seldom fatal, but 1t
Is more or less severe according to the
state of the system. Victims have been
known to remain for days in convu sions,

swelled as In dropsy, while others do
